You must not think Of doing this.
As one considerably older than
Hancock, and having had greater

future happiness of young married

He then informed us that it WAS

;nto small piles, where they soon

all the ~fattening qualities of corn.
As a food for cattle it cannot be ex-
ce|led, and is especially fine for milk
cattle. These peas can be grown

seem to do % well az when richly
fertilized. Where they are grown
in large quantities the practice is to
NOW off the vines, cure them into
hay. and then turn the hogs into the
field to fatten upon the peas. If de-
sired the peas can easily be stripped
off the vines after they are cured

forty bushels Of peas and two tons

the corn at Is cents per bushel, we
have $50, making q total of $40.
Estimating the peas at SO cents per
hushel, We have $40, and the forage
at City cents per hundred we have
500, making a total of $40. And in

Reform in titles

The American habit Of calling Tom,
Dick and Harry, J dge, Colonel, or
Major has frequently been the subject
Of adverse criticism. 1t is indeed
very absurd habit to apply titles indis-
crimlnately, and it is surprising that no
reform in this direction has ever been
suggested. In European countries mo-
body is called by military title unless
he has had something to do with the
army OF navy, but with us the nan who
may never have had any connection
with the army is more apt to be dubbed
General than anybody else.
How would it do to give men titles
derived from their trade or profession
For instance, the Pope of Rome is
called "You1Hoiness." Here we have a
starting point. Instead Of calling
lawyer Colonel or Major, would it not
sound better to address him as "Your
Impotence" or "Yuur Disputatious-
ness1" A landlord might be addressed
as "Your Suavity," or "Your Obse-
quiousness." When you meet doctor
you could take off your hat and say
Good morning, Your Ignorance" or
GLOW does Your Healthfulness feel to-
day1' as was most appropriate to the
individual. The title could always be
varied to suit the peculiarities of the
man. Some clergymen who are given
to banging the Bible might be address
ed as "Your Extreme Violence other.
as "Your Drowsiness" or "Youl
Sonorousness."
The same rule might apply to the
different trades 1t sounds ridioulou.
to address mikman as Colonel, 9
butcher as Captain, or a man who sells
butter as Professor. II our idea i,
carried out, we shall hear such talk as
"What has Your Chalkiness been doin(
to the milk1 or "How much doe
Your Fertility ask for beets this morn
ing1" In speaking to a tanner, referring
to hides, he might be called you
Hideousness."
We merely throw out the crude idei
for what it is worth. We do not pro
pose to elaborate at all. We only seel
to furnish the cornerstone Thos,
who desire to can build the edihce.
